Yes, temporary post to hold up the joist until the stairs are built. A 4x4 will be taking it's place.

We have contractors to give door bids today, the window divisions of HD will be here also and the paving contractor will bid the job placing down 5300 of driveway pavers from the stree to garage and the main house.

Pictures this afternoon.

The stairway had the 4 x4 put in placed. Not enough floor boards were sent.. so they started building the walls and storing them
under the decking. The large wall on top of the beam will be lifted into place on Friday.

Just asked my wife about the window thing as she owned a window manufacturer, dist., etc and she said aluminum for sure in your area as vynil will expand and contract too much with your temps. Wood would be second.

The trusses are up, beams are up, some of the plywood roof are nailed down.
A few changes has to be made in front. The 3 little windows won't fit so we are going with sky lights on the eastern side. We will make changes as we work.

We now have a steps to the upper level. Totally different from last week.
Last 30 days of construction (we hope). We will be totally under roof by Tuesday afternoon.
Electricians are happy that we have finished this part. Now they can run their lines.

Tile installer came out and remeasured the bathroom. Added a 2x4 window in the bath area.

Clearing out motar so the beam would fit
